  • @LustiZRKZ Haha standard comment these days on youtube. This song is amazing. I'm not really happy about the way he sang it in this version though. But the fact I own all their CD's but maybe dislike 1 vid makes musical culture go in a free fall? :P Just love your music and share it. All the hipsters will join you when you do it right ;)

  • @badmarihuanacom I haven't removed anything at all.

  • @compnut123 yeah, I understand it...it's just that he mumbles too many of his words.

  • Ate me vieram as lágrimas aos olhos!!!

  • fuck me! that was great!

  • @TheSvs1 No, and yes it was!

  • Stop whispering!!

  • violetjm., you speak for an awful lot of us, and not just in the US.We were so busy, so righteous, hating the war, we failed the human beings forced to be part of it. The statistics of mental illness and crime among war vets, then and now, is proof of our own inhumanity. Thanks, Mark.

  • that guitar sings . so sweet

  • Shakespeare Henry V Agincourt speach We few, we happy few, we Band of Brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, 

  • Best song EVER !

    Mark Knopfler is the greatest guitar player EVER !

    I'm 32 years old and I still hope I can see his show ! That would make my life complete !!

  • @elsonfbs No Brasil camarada?

  • this is the best song for dream

  • I am a VNam vet.Spent 16 months in country.I came back with no parades, no praise or anything.I even had to take a taxi home. This is as close I have come to someone's appreciation

    stetzyronald@yahoo.com

    .

  • @RSTETZY - That was a crazy time in the U.S. People didn't know to express thanks to our soldiers. I remember how young and silly I was. We were anti-war, so we all ignored everything and everyone connected with that war. Many people didn't understand the emotions of the returning soldiers. We just didn't have the maturity to try to understand, and to be thankful. Looking back, I regret this so much. You should be thanked, so thank you, from the bottom of my heart. All the best to you.

  • I am a VNam vet.Spent 16 months in country.I came back with no parades, no praise or anything.I even had to take a taxi home. This is as close I have come to someone's appreciation.

  • @RSTETZY how are you now,i met some comrades of you long ago in amsterdam,i hope life gave you back what you needed to be happy.We got scars from everywhere,but we have to live on.

  • makes me cry. every time

  • C'est chaud, c'est chaud. C'est extrêmement chaud.

  • This is greatttttttt¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ How can someone vote in negative way?? They dont know about music¡¡¡¡ The best ever Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits

  • Respect from Chechenia.., this song the best of the best

  • when some of the shit we hear today gets too much, all we have to do is think of this..and then we smile, at least we had the privilege to listen to a master like Mark. Thanks for the memories.

  • dire straits for ever

  • absolument sublime

  • The pedal steel guitar solo is fantastic, and also the drumming during.

  • Goddamn 6:46. magic moment

  • In moments like this i wish i was born earlier...

  • arguably the most intense and powerful song ever written and performed... dire straits at their best... and mark knopler proves again what a prolific composer, musician, guitarist, lyricist and POET he is... this is a song filled with emotions... simply bloody amazing! *peacelove*

  • I really love this song ..........

  • Ist das schön,was sind wir nur kleine scheiß Lichter am Horizont.

    Ist Musik nicht was geiles????

  • Great version of a great song!

  • He's just so smooth.

  • the best version of this song. the gitar is magic pure

  • souvenirs, souvenirs , n'est ce pas , michele

  • 2 dislikes...

    2 people with a worrying lack of knowledge...

  • @figurebytheroad: probably Warner Music Group executives...

  • This is why I never go to concerts. You have very beautiful music, very emotional, very special, and some stoned piece of shit feels a need to add their worthless screams and whistles.

  • @toadabc I don't go to concerts anymore either, I just buy them on DVD if I can and then I don't have to listen to some dizzy drunk bimbo scream. As much as concerts cost, you would think people would be interested in actually hearing the band instead of themselves. This song deals with a serious, somber subject and the screamers only show their ignorance.

    Peace to you all

  • WOW

  • SO great!

  • this song contains more emotion and beauty in 10 minutes, then all music from today together.

  • @marcisgreat das geht raus an alle jungs,die ihr blut vergiessen fuer ihr land

  • This song makes me shivering whenever i heat it. Great !!!

  • @JotheBytle

    my hairs go stand right up xD dunno how its called in english

  • One of the best performances ever of one of the most powerful songs ever.

    Some of Mark Knopfler's songs are as perfect expressions of both protest & political / spiritual movements as ever; certainly at least the equal of anything that acknowledged master of the form Bob Dylan, or any other "protest song" singers of the 60s, ever put out.

    So why isn't he universally credited w/ that?

    This isn't a rhetorical question, or snark -- I really want to know. Anyone know of any reason?

    tia

  • @smartalek1 ...sorry, this response is a year late but I saw your comment just now... we all wonder why Mark's genius isn't as widely acclaimed as the other musicians. Maybe because for a rock star he is "normal" by worldly standards,i.e., no scandals, no drugs, no hideous facial make-ups, no outrageous stage movements, no gimmicks...nothing but pure beautiful music.....

  • this is the shit man...i love this song!!!!

  • i would love nothing more than this song to be played at my funeral. it is everything i feel and have experienced in life!!!

  • what a concert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Seems there's a few differences between this one and the On the night CD version, is it just the mix? Or two different takes?

  • The biggest difference is three months

  • Ah thanks. I don't suppose this one is available on DVD or CD anywhere?

  • just get real player and download this video

  • @Pippin1505 On the recording of On the Night show de guitar overdrive from Knopfler's guitar is stronger than here where the sound is smother than the On The Night version.

  • close your eyes.. listen with your heart..... beatifull song.

  • A beautiful comment about a beautiful song.

  • R.I.P. Smudge and Macka, 22nd Cheshire regiment.

  • must be the best band ever

    must be the best concert ever

    must be the best guitarist ever

    must be the best song ever

    must be remebered forever!

  • ;) Lo es

  • @simenrogne ONE of the best,no such thing as "The Best" of anything unless its in a competition,in which "The best" of the entries is selected.

    Not even the winner lasts for long,a few months or years later,someone else get the best hat to wear.

  • @simenrogne Cela n'a pas pris une ride. Le "guitar hero", le thème

  • reason being-pensa guitar has srtings and frets are further apart than a les paul making it easier to play pensa with this song.both have a great sound.keep up the good work mark-god bless you...

  • this is a good version another good version is the nelson mandella concert

  • What a vid!. My fav song of the whole tour. Keep up the good work!

  • The master off guitar and lyrics!!!

  • THE BEST EVER !!!!!!!!!

  • jackasses thats whistling and clapping, this song is best served in silence

  • totally agree dude, i know its a concert and all that but they should sit back and enjoy this song

  • The best "on every street tour" brothers in arms version.

    Pensa´s sounds at its best, almost the Mandela version.

    BIA has been better performed with Pensa than Les Paul.

  • not always, a night in london is played with les paul and is one of the best versions. It's true that pensa is the guitar used at On the Night, and no doubt that is the best version that

  • Night in London was made in 1996.

    He gave up his Pensa performances by 1994.

    This version has its strength speccially up to minute 6:45 with the pedal string.

  • pedal steel you mean

  • That's not true, in the end of romeo and juliet in a night in london, knopfler and richard bennett play both on a Pensa

  • I know, but he used to play with the Pensa the songs he historically had played with the Les Paul and ended it by 1994.

  • Sadly ruined by the whistling early on

  • you're right, that is annoying

  • Du grand art, à savourer sans modération...la magie opère toujours jour après jour!

  • la magie de MK va toujours opérer, tout l'émotion qu'il met dans chaque note, dans chaque syllabe de ses mots, l'intensité dans son regard, tout ça ne peut pas disparaître, et c'est pourquoi ses chansons resteront parmi les meilleures jamais entendues.

  • at my opinion the best part is from 7:28

  • alan clark dressed up in convict

  • WoW 5:45 is the best in the whole song.....

  • i like marks guitar

  • gosto desta versão! A minha favorita é a do concerto no wembley no tributo a Nelson Mandela

  • Hail to the Pensa & Mark Knopfler, truly incredible!

  • Only one word: GREAT !!!

  • amazing

  • the greatest exibition for this song!!!

  • Subele el volumen a la guitarra!

  • How lovely a tune. For those guitar lovers, Guitar Rig 3 has an amp very similar to the one mark uses.
